Here are some words I never thought I'd say or write: Last night I went to a party with a bunch of computer nerds and had a good time.

Translation: Yesterday, a bunch of the girls were out sari shopping and ran into some guys from Infosys who recognized us from when we took the tour. One thing led to another, and they (and the rest of us) wound up invited to a little get-together at a hotel/club called the Roost. Seeing as they're engineers in training, it's easily understandable why they'd jump at the chance to invite ten women to their party.

It felt just like home. Lots of loud music I don't like. Still, it was cool to meet some new people and get a perspective on Infosys that didn't come from the mouth of a tour guide. They all seemed to like living there, but got annoyed at the rules straight out of summer camp (strict separation of male/female halls, 11 PM curfew, etc).

On a side note, I've developed a wonderful cough thanks to (I think) the "pristine" Mysore air and the cigarette smoke constantly wafting from one corner of our group. I hope it doesn't develop into a respiratory infection.
